Linear expansivity of a substance is the fractional change in length/volume/area per unit change in temperature at a given constant pressure.
The formula of linear expansivity of solid is ,
Lf = Li [1 + a (Change in T)]
where T is temperature and Li is initial length.
And a is constant linear expansivity of the … Read more
The ice and steam points on a thermometer correspond to X and 50mm respectively. A temperature of 60degree celcius corresponds to 52mm on the thermometer. Calculate the value of X
